Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Ver. 12. Thou hast made them equal] Lo, this is the guise of graceless hypocrites, to be quarrelling and contending with God and man, as unworthily dealt withal. Thus those Jewish justiciaries, Isaiah 58:3, hit God in the teeth with their good services and small thanks. So the proud Pharisee sets forth, not his wants, but his worth. Contrariwise, Jacob cries out in a low language, Domine, non sum dignus, Genesis 30:10. So doth Paul, 1 Corinthians 15:9; the centurion,Matthew 8:6; the Baptist, Matthew 3:11. St Augustine, Non sum dignus, quem tu diligas, Domine, Lord, I am not worthy of thy love.
